The Erasmus+ project “Democratic Dialogue at School: An online game-based training tool on democratic dialogue for teachers” believes in the strength of dialogue to tackle intolerance and discrimination at school aiming to stimulate inclusive education all over Europe.
It is implemented from 01/01/2022 – 30/06/2024 in four EU countries (Belgium, Greece, Italy, Cyprus) with the participation of universities, VET schools, research centres and NGOs.
The DD@S project aims at empowering European secondary school teachers in dealing with multicultural challenges at school. The project contributes in the professional development of teachers, and educators in general, helping them to acquire effective dialogue skills to cope with ethnic, religious and multicultural conflict situations and discussions on various controversial issues at school.
The DD@S’ Learning, Teaching, Training Activity was planned at a key moment in the project’s timetable: it has been the kick-off for the pilot testing phase of the DD@S educational material to be embedded into an online platform. The main objective of the project’s 1st LTTA was to organize trials for the DD@S project, through an interactive training in focus groups with the participation of teachers from all participating countries.
A total of 56 teachers and education professionals met face-to-face to share their expertise on multicultural priorities, managing diversity controversies and to provide valuable feedback for the development of the project’s toolkit, training programme and gamified e-learning platform.
In the DD@S LTTA’s e-handbook you will find:
- Keynote presentations on intercultural communication and discussion of controversial issues at school
- Comparative results of the DD@S survey: Skills and inabilities of teachers in dealing with controversy
- Details about the DD@S handbook of good practices and the Modules for teachers.
